The Primeval Hunts
The Primeval Hunts are a popular tradition to the Gardenians of Gardenia where every 5 years during the late summer, warriors from Gardenia as well as other warriors who come to the city to hunt the Fauna of the Primeval for glory as well as having the best Primeval Feast possible.
History
The Primeval Hunts where put in place after the Primal Raids & the Primal Pact was made allowing warriors from Gardenian to cull the population of the Primeval every 5 years during the late summer in preparation for the Primeval Feast during the Fall. There have been a total of 5 Primeval Hunts in Gardenia's history, where many beasts where slain like Umbral Leopards, Spacial Hounds, Garden Condors, ect. In the Primeval Hunts a monster called the Ashen Beasts have never been killed during the tradition, making it the most treasured quarry in the hunts.
Execution
During the morning in late summer, up to 50 warriors will be at the edge of the Bliss at the Living Wind River being informed of the rules in the Primeval Hunts.
- The warriors are tasked with killing as many beasts as they can before nightfall or until 50% of the fauna is culled.
- You are expected to kill only beasts, meaning the forest elves watching over you are not part of the quarry.
- During the Hunt plants will get in your way & killing them will grant you points bonus if there edible.
- It's only fair that if the fauna are expected to perish, you will if you can't succeed, if you're Spirit is depleted you will fight on just the same.
- Dishonorable kills won't get you any points like wildfires & necrotic energy.
- You will gain points if you are the one to deal the final blow.

"The hunts are a valued tradition among our people and add to population control for the beast of the woods. Our finest huntsmen kill as many animals as possible and those killed are prepared for a feast." - Sellfur
"Tell you what Sellfur as nature is about balance. Every 5 years your huntsmen make a sport out of killing the beasts. What better way to stave off the chance of another animal invasion." - Ivy
"I've seen a few hunts in my days before knowing you. The huntsmen of the aren't as flashy as you. It's good that Ivy said that the sentient ones are spared." - Adolla
"Did I tell you how many hunts I took part in? I won many but then Sellfur banned me as I was too skilled and outshined the others. It's not his fault, I mean it is but the valor and fun of others is more important than me winning for the umpteenth time." - Kephalos
